Naturalized American Forward Ricardo Ratliffe (203-F-89) had an amazing evening in the last round for top-ranked Mobis Phoebus, receiving a Interperformances Player of the Week award for round 36.The 29-year old player had a double-double of 23 points and 20 rebounds, while his team beat Goyang Orions (#6, 23-24) 81-69. It allowed Mobis Phoebus to consolidate first place in the South Korean KBL. They would have been even better if they hadn't lost a few games earlier this season. Mobis Phoebus has a very solid 36-11 record, but they cannot be too comfortable about keeping top position. Ratliffe turned to be Mobis Phoebus' top player in his first season with the team. Former University of Missouri star has very solid stats this year. Ratliffe is in league's top in points (5th best: 24.4ppg) and averages impressive 1.7bpg and 63.4% FGP.

The second best player in last round's games was 33-year old American Charles Rhodes (203-F/C-85) of league's second-best ET Land. Rhodes had a very good evening with a double-double of 26 points and 15 rebounds. Of course he led ET Land to another comfortable win outscoring the lower-ranked DB Promy (#7, 22-26) 104-72. ET Land's second position in the standings has not changed. His team's 32-14 record is not bad at all. Rhodes is a newcomer at ET Land, but is already one of team's top players.

Third on the list of top players last round was American forward Eugene Phelps (198-F-90) of Samsung Th. (#10). Phelps got into 30-points club by scoring exactly 30 points in the last round. He went also for twelve rebounds and four assists. Despite Phelps' great performance Samsung Th. lost 84-92 to the higher-ranked LG Sakers (#3, 26-21). But his team cannot count on just a single shooter as he also needs help of the other teammates. Samsung Th. can only dream about fighting for top spots in the league. They have extremely bad season and 11-36 record places them at the very bottom of the standings. Too bad for Phelps he does not play for a better team. But maybe if he did, his season stats would not be that high. Phelps has individually a great season in South Korea. After 31 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in points with 25.4ppg (3rd best) and rebounds with 13.4rpg (4th best). He also has 1.4bpg and FGP: 51.7%.

American Forward Aaron Haynes (201-F-81) put on an amazing game in the last round for SK Knights, receiving a Interperformances Player of the Week award for round 42.The 37-year old player had a double-double of 40 points and 11 rebounds, while his team SK Knights maintains the 9th position in South Korean KBL. SK Knights is currently ranked second from the bottom. But it was their 34th lost game this season out of 54 games. In the team's last game Haynes had a remarkable 83.3% from 2-point range. It's his second year at SK Knights and it's hard to imagine this team without him. Former Boise State University star has very solid stats this year. Haynes is in league's top in points (6th best: 24.3ppg), rebounds (8th best: 11.2rpg) and assists (3rd best: 5.5apg).

The second best player in last round's games was 33-year old American Brandon Brown (201-PF-85) of KCC Egis. Brown had a very good evening with a double-double of 29 points and 12 rebounds. Of course he led KCC Egis to another comfortable win 88-75 over slightly higher-ranked ET Land (#2, 35-19) being unquestionably team leader. It was definitely game of the week between two contenders to the title. KCC Egis consolidated its place in top 4 of the standings. His team's 28-26 record is not bad at all. Brown is a newcomer at KCC Egis, but is already one of team's top players. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 25.4ppg (#3). His other stats are also decent: 13.2rpg and 4.0apg. Former Cal State - San Bernardino star Brown is a former Eurobasket Summer League player, which is considered top international summer league in the market.

Third on the list of top players last round was American Leon Williams (203-C/F-86) of DB Promy (#8). Williams scored 23 points and grabbed nine rebounds. He was a key player of DB Promy, leading his team to a 88-76 win against the higher-ranked LG Sakers (#3, 30-24). The chances of DB Promy ranking at the top of the league, however are very questionable as they have already lost 30 games, recording just twenty four victories. With bigger assistance of his teammates, Williams could help DB Promy to bring them higher in the standings. Williams has a great season in South Korea. After 41 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in rebounds with 13.9rpg (3rd best).

JAMES MAYS

32-year old power forward James Mays (205-F/C-86) had an amazing evening in the last round for LG Sakers and receives a Interperformances Player of the Week award for round 41.He had a double-double of 33 points and 19 rebounds, while his team beat ET Land (#2, 35-18) 81-72. The game was between two of the league's top four teams. LG Sakers maintains the 3rd position in South Korean league. They would have been even better if they hadn't lost a few games earlier this season. LG Sakers will need more victories to improve their 30-23 record. Mays turned to be LG Sakers' top player in his first season with the team. Clemson University graduate has very impressive stats this year. Mays is league's best scorer averaging so far 26.8ppg and leads league in rebounds with 14.7rpg. Mays is in league's top in and averages solid 53.8% FGP.

Second best performed player last round was Shannon Shorter (193-G-89) of top-ranked Mobis Phoebus. He is American guard in his first season at Mobis Phoebus. In the last game Shorter recorded impressive triple-double of 25 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists. Of course he led Mobis Phoebus to another comfortable win 100-85 over the lower-ranked DB Promy (#8, 23-30) being unquestionably team leader. Of course Mobis Phoebus still keep the league's top spot. His team has currently 42-11 record. Shorter is a newcomer at Mobis Phoebus and quickly became one of team's most reliable players.

Third place about best performers goes to forward Eugene Phelps (198-F-90) of Samsung Th. (#10). Phelps showcased his all-around game by recording 24 points, twenty two rebounds (!!!) and six assists in the last round. Despite Phelps' great performance Samsung Th. lost 88-89 to the higher-ranked Anyang KGC (#7, 24-29). But his team cannot count on just a single player as he also needs help of the other teammates. Samsung Th. can only dream about fighting for top spots in the league. They have extremely bad season and 11-42 record places them at the very bottom of the standings. Too bad for Phelps he does not play for a better team. But maybe if he did, his season stats would not be that high. Phelps has individually a great season in South Korea. After 37 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in points with 26.2ppg (2nd best) and rebounds with 13.5rpg (4th best). He also has 1.6bpg and FGP: 53.1%.
